This is a resource for keeping young people safe with information about what to do if you are worried about a child. The following link provides a wealth of information and support for parents and carers.

Using the internet is part of everyday life for most children and young people. Although for the most part, the internet is very beneficial to children and young people, we know that there are risks to young people. Please follow the links below for more information about e-safety.

Engage eSafety came to deliver INSET to staff and ran a session for parents.

“I found the session very helpful and feel infant age is the perfect time to start teaching about being safe online. My daughter is in year 2 and is only allowed to use the internet under supervision currently, but we need to be prepared for the not too distant future when we let her have a little more internet independence. Thank you for your time and expertise.”

Domestic abuse is widespread, often escalates, and almost invariably impacts on children in the household. From 2007 domestic abuse has been defined in legislation as harmful and abusive to children. It affects their emotional wellbeing, behaviour, attainment, and long term life chances: the younger the child the greater the risk. The following information can offer support in this area.

Prevent Extremism

All schools have a duty to safeguard vulnerable people from extremism.

The Prevent strategy is part of the UK Counter Terrorism Strategy (CONTEST) published by the Government in 2011.

Prevent has three main objectives to:

respond to the ideological challenge of terrorism

support vulnerable people and prevent people from being drawn into terrorism

work with key sectors and institutions and address risks.

It focuses on early intervention before any illegal activity takes place. The aim is to reduce the likelihood of individuals who support a violent extremist ideology of becoming terrorists. Find out more about the Prevent strategy by following the link below.
